Preparation for Your Special Event
Thank you for choosing Luminary Beauty to be part of your special day! To ensure everything runs smoothly and your look is absolutely
flawless, please review the following preparation tips before your appointment.
​
Makeup Preparation
​
Inspiration:
-
Please send us your makeup and hair inspiration photos before your appointment so we can align on your desired look.
Skin Prep:
-
Wash your face in the morning and apply your favorite moisturizer. (SPF is perfectly fine!)
-
Healthy, glowing skin starts with good care — exfoliate your face and lips at least once a week leading up to your event.
-
Moisturize nightly to keep your skin hydrated (a hydrating mask is a great addition). Hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide will do wonders!
-
Any type of makeup does not adhere well to dry or flaky skin.
-
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment — hydrated skin is happy skin!
Lip Colors:
-
Bride: Please bring a few lip color options — one will be chosen for your touch-ups throughout the day.
-
Bridal Party/Others: Bring your preferred lip color for touch-ups.
Hair Preparation
​
Washing:
-
Wash your hair the night before your event. Use a light conditioner if your hair is coarse or frizzy.
-
If your hair tends to get oily, consider washing it the morning of the event — in this case, avoid using heavy conditioner.
-
Blow-dry your hair completely, ideally flipping your head upside down for extra volume.
Important:
-
Please arrive with completely dry hair — we do not carry blow dryers or allow time for drying during your appointment.
-
If you plan to tie your hair before we begin, use a high ponytail, not a low one.
-
Wear a zip-up or button-down top to avoid disturbing your hair or makeup afterward.
-
For bridal trials, bring your hair accessories (veil, pins, flowers, etc.) so we can finalize your look.
Recommended Touch-Up Kit
To stay fresh and camera-ready all day, we recommend having these essentials on hand:
-
Lip color (your chosen shade)
-
Powder blush (in your preferred tone)
-
Loose translucent powder (for shine control)
-
Oil-blotting papers
-
Eyelash glue – We recommend Duo brand
-
Hairspray and hairpins
-
Straws – to help avoid lipstick smudges
-
Safety pins and small scissors
